MMT Network

What MMT Network does

MMT Network GmbH is a Berlin-based consulting and planning firm specializing in the integration of media technology, room and building acoustics, and professional audio systems. Founded in 2009 and privately held by CEO Ralf Bauer-Diefenbach, the firm serves cultural institutions, entertainment venues, corporate workspaces, government bodies, broadcasters, and educational clients — primarily in Germany. Its service portfolio spans three core disciplines (Medientechnik, Akustik, Pro Audio) delivered as project-based consulting, including specialized solutions in immersive sound design (Dolby Atmos, Auro 3D, d&b Soundscape, L-ISA), stage management systems, fiber optic AV networks, and studio technology.

The firm's technical offering combines consulting, acoustic simulation, equipment specification, and project oversight rather than proprietary products or licensed IP. Notable marquee engagements include a 10-year Konzerthaus Berlin modernization (2013-2023), work for Berliner Ensemble and Mercedes-Benz Arena Berlin, multi-location media technology rollouts for an unnamed Big Four accounting firm across 27 German sites, and projects for rbb, Rotor Film, Humboldt University, and the Gemeinsamer Bundesausschuss (German federal healthcare committee). Differentiators cited are the cross-disciplinary integration of acoustics, media control, and pro audio engineering under one provider, and heritage-building compliance experience.

Commercially, MMT operates a pure professional services model with project-based pricing negotiated per engagement, no disclosed pricing tiers, no external funding, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed revenue. The firm is owner-controlled with a Managing Director (Philipp Schwarz) departing at end of 2025. Distribution is exclusively through direct enterprise sales via competitive tendering and professional referrals; marketing relies on a project-portfolio website, LinkedIn updates, and earned media in Bühnentechnische Rundschau. Vendor relationships with Meyer Sound and d&b Audiotechnik are equipment procurement relationships rather than formal commercial partnerships.
